no longer forgotten music,
underground counterpart to Ubuweb. The stupid but
obvious appreciation would be merely sentimental and historicist.
Listening to a ca. 100 hour selection [of which a semirandom
selection could include de Fabriek, Peter Sterk, Horst Rickels, Ynse
Vugts, Moniek Toebosch, Schlaflose Nächte], it matters little from which
period and culture the audio is from, but all the more that it's
improptu, unpretentious and surprising. The best of it defies both
categories and musical stereotypes of either pop music or academic
avant-garde. (The cheap, low tech, read-writable technology of the tapes
might have helped in this respect; sentimentalizing and
retro-fetishizing it, however, would this work further injustice. The
anonymous blogger is thus right selling those tapes while keeping the
mp3 files.)
